F12 game, test and work out, what's strong enough, 8th November in the am GO!! Sideways, no entry yet, DT Short 11607 - - exit 1150 + 57 YESSS!!!! too much risk of bounce back holding sideways, no longer trade chop, as no idea when it's turned and when to exit. DT Again, Short 11565 Exit 11553 +12 Short 11552 SL 11550 - 8 UPTrend ?? Long 11560 Exit BE Don't like this 1. Direction, direction my kingdon for a direction Up Long 11562 - SL 11556 - 6 Downtrend short lived that last 1 Short 11558 - basing exit 53 +5 Uptrend Long 11558 - exit BE no legs Another uptrend No entry arseeee Crap downtrend, couldn't see it, too late short late 11559 - 54 +5 Getting some choptastic action last few trades, breaking even ish. Uptrend Long 11567 - Basing exit 83 + 15 Downtrend - no missed it, looked weak, fell off the planet 2nd entry Short 11531 - 500 holding exit 06 + 25 Uptrend Long 1124 - exit 34 +10 WEAK Downtrend, missed 3 entries, choppy mind. Uptrned. Long ( 2pt spread ) 11521 exit 30 +9 My arms hurt, going from keyboard to mouse to f12 LOL End of day, so +57 never to be repeated +12 -8 0 -6 +5 +5 +15 +25 +10 +9 = +130 Reviewing 8th a Thursday likely big news out, that was a weak trend day. Quick review of the days after, there a lot stronger, like not normal strong to be fair, but 100+ pt runs on the DAX 13th for instance. Looks the way to specialise!!
Method looking amazing in this super strong market today, it won't work in market with no follow through ofcourse, but that's just playing the Envelope 18sma 0.12% range pretty much, so not a huge issue, I'll just switch than in and out depending on market conditions. Long 11145 just SL 39 Still ill, coughing and sore as fuck throat, so holding off on live still, SL hit -$73 Demo. Aim to reduce my stress/emotions, so take position, set SL, then either I take a profit 10pts+ or I get SL'd and just not care. Be another $100 in a hole and getting worried here, if not for SL No pressure, but can't keep screwing this up, this time it sticks, I don't screw it up and I start making loads of $$$$'s!! or Die Trying!!!!
Not being overly strict on strength required before I take plays, but short 11139, SL 47 Just getting used to taking small losses and playing the odds. Chop time, but let the SL take care of it, when wrong, just keep a vague eye on and let it run, if it runs. I want 50pt moves Losing 10 or making 20 - 50. Gaining Momo down, hold!!
SL's highlighting the importance of waiting for stronger Momo!! Wishy Washy chop doesn't get you anywhere.
First trade, via the normal averaging down would be up nicely here, but there was no way to tell that that downturn wouldn't run for 100pts and crush me! so I no longer play that game!!
Not being strict, last entry was good and -$100! Need Envelope 18sma 0.12% back in the game, can't easily see / avoid chop without. Speeding up method, to 7 and 14 based. Didn't take, but setup short for +25, then break over 14 worth 40pts. Falling for the waiting for a close to lower 7 range entry, it's already turned if it's there, got to take the 7's going up, join at the SMA!! Work, all day tomorrow to practice and get it right!! ( longer if I have to )
All is good, tad faster setup, more patience and using 3 brain cells on the entry and better conditions and profits, +43 here from -27. Practice practice practice required!
Method, doesn't work enough of the time, okay things to learn from but arseee!! Oddly, back to ........ 9sma Envelope 9sma 0.05 and 0.10 SMA 22. Much the same as before, difference being SL's so no huge draw down, it wasn't broken after all.
Quick F12 test, tomorrow, Demo day then we'll see if go no go for Thursday back live!! 9:30am GMT start time, currently up trend MoMo running out. Short, 22 down cheap SL 11119 - stalled exit 11097 +22 Strong buyers, joining, L 11104 - massive break up exit 11148 +44 Tricky area, no direction, might be turning up pulled back long 11158 - SL 49 -9 turning down short 11143 - SL to break even, reversed hard, SL hit BE!! uptrending Long 11163 - went higher but out 73 didn't follow through +10 Downtrend short 11152 - exit on turning over 22 11131 +21 bad exit downtrend, spikes Short 11110 - exit 11102 +8 Turning up Turning down short 11075 - exit 11050 +25 uptrend breaking down short 11067 - exit 11035 +32 short 11035 - SL hit 11044 -9 long 11058 - missed first run, 2nd held and up again, exit 11098 +40 Long 11086 - exit 11110 unsure + 24 good call, turned down, short 11086 - basing exit 11070 +16 Another go, short 11082 - exit 68 +14 uptrend, missed entry Long 11090 tight SL, exit 11105 +15 Long 11110 - turning exit 08 -2 Short 11106 - exit 11102 right before the break down +4 Those are good test results, entries at mid point on closed candles, still cheating and focus better when not waiting all day for above to unfold, so no way I'll ever get that kinda result. +244 on that day, WOWSA's, +50 is the goal per day!!!
First Demo trade SL hit, initial reaction is, NOOOO why, FIGHT IT, LET it run it'll come back, Bla Bla Bla, let the SL hit and I'd be in a big hole, so must trust SL, won't always be right, but method is there for a reason. 2nd trade +10, 3rd +15 so +14 in profit here.
